Losing/Finding My Mind In Namibia on a Solo Adventure!

This trip has been needed for quite a while! The Solo But Not Alone Series goes into it’s third part of the adventure, I head to Namibia on my own for a no plan trip, making it up as I go along! I managed to cross southern Namibia, heading past the Quiver Tree forest and Mesosaurus fossil camp near Keetmanshoop, then to the Duwiseb Castle, before making my way through to explore Sossus. There were some epic things that I thought would be fun to do in the area, like visit Valley of a Thousand Hills, and even hop on a Hot Air Balloon and take that over the Namib Desert! This trip was about a bit of soul searching, and how a solo trip can really help mental health! It’s important to take some time and do your own adventure every now and then!

Before Roam, I had no cooking clue what Overlanding was and now, it's number one on my bucket list. Thank you, Adrian.

    Adrian, this was beautifully paced and put together…I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it! I felt like you connected with us as the viewers more than ever before, maybe because you were traveling alone and filming so many authentic in-the-moment snippets with us. You captured the feeling in each moment perfectly! I also loved the fact that you didn’t plan too much. I’m also used to planning eeeeverything before hand and then missing a lot because you just have to stick to a route and move on all the time. You have definitely motivated me to travel solo and winging things more in the near future… Having said that, I’d love to do a nice game viewing-focussed trip with you at some stage…! 😉 Thanks for all the effort with these viddies 🙏🏻

    Been to Namibia twice. Love the place. In the western US it is customary to stop and assist someone who needs help, no payment is expected. I always refuse if offered because i have been helped by a passer-by a time or two myself when on lonely desert or backcountry road. It's just the right thing to do.

I actually met you about 4 years ago at one of the offroad shows at the Dome in Jhb and I still have one of your stickers on my vehicle that I only recently purchased at that time. My build is very minimalistic compared to yours but it works for me. But your ideas inspired me to build it in that way. Thanks again for all the inspiration to do what we love.

    I totally share your frustration w/some people's lack of respect for places they visit. My theory is these lowlifes don't have the brain capacity to think ie. extremely stupid. In Australia, we've had many places closed to vehicles due to idiotic behaviours like that. This weekend alone, I arrived at one of my favourite state forest free campgrounds at around noon, and the spot I picked still had its firepit smouldering. Clearly the people who stayed there before simply left w/o making sure it was 100% out. But that wasn't the worst part, the firepit was also full of empty beer bottles and aluminium cans - unbelievable. 🤬 Well done on your journey on the road less travelled. That's how I find hidden gems. 👍

    Brilliant, thank you. It makes those of us who aren't in a position to do some overlanding to at least continue to dream about it...and who knows, maybe one day....

    I moved from Belgium to Cape Town 7 years ago. Little I knew about overlanding, but man, how did I missed out! I am following your channel for a while and you inspired me to go overlanding. I did my first overlanding trip in Namibia 6 months ago with wife and kids and went to all those beautiful spots you showed on your Namibia episodes and more. The sense of joy, freedom and adventure is indescribable. The Cederberg is also my playground now. Your content is quality and you are a great story teller. Well done! BTW, Namtib Desert Lodge is such a gem!

    Great video and well said. It was great to see someone speaking about mental health and how the time spent by yourself out in wildness can be a real help. I hope to do some overlanding trips here in new Zealand if I could afford it all

    Hi Adrian, brilliant video as always and even more powerful ending - it was from the heart and think it touch everyone in his and hers own way - its needed to be heard and well done for doing that - its not easy to open one's soul up, inevitably when you do that it touches people!! - lovely - well done and looking forward to the next one!!

    As a big long time follower of your channel this was one of my favourite episodes, I appreciate you speaking to mental health and the importance of taking time for yourself. I’m picking up a Hilux to do some trips soon myself I was wondering if you purchased a fairly stock Hilux what would your first 3 upgrades be and why? Cannot wait to get some time away from the city. Thank you for inspiring us all and everything you do sir! 👌🏼

    So glad this one resonated with you bud! Top 3 upgrades: 1. Good Tires (standard vehicles can do so much, but generally their tires are trash. I’ve been loving the General Grabber ATX and the AT3 LT, both excellent and done some hard trails with them, with no issues, but their on road manners are excellent too!) 2. A BushTech Canopy (Don’t play games here, just get the best from the start, because this opens up so many options for how you want to travel in the future. 3. An Air Compressor. So you actually deflate your tires and inflate them correctly. This is the number one way to prevent punctures and get improved offroad performance. These things will get you out there and begin your journey, the rest can come with time and experience!

    "It's amazing how big and diverse Namibia is. I have been to a majority of the areas you went through, but surprisingly, I have never stayed at the campsite you mentioned. This just goes to show that there are still so many more places to explore. For your next visit, I highly recommend venturing into the remote areas in the northwestern parts of Namibia, specifically Koakoland. Marienfluss, in particular, is a wonderful location for capturing stunning photos. Recently, I had the opportunity to go there with a group of my friends, taking the adventurous Infermes Van Zyl's Pass. It was truly an amazing experience. Keep up the great work and happy travels!"
